One And One And One Is Three

The number of runs the Tigers have scored in regulation play in their last three games. 

They got lucky in the last game against the Cardinals, winning in ten. Again today at PNC, not so lucky. 

Brad Lincoln threw six innings of no-hit ball. The only Tiger to touch the plate was Miguel Cabrera, who homered. (I should write something like "Lincoln logs a fine outing," but will leave that to the MLB.com Editor In Charge Of Cute Headlines.)

Max Scherzer pitched well enough to win.  He allowed three runs in seven innings. They all scored on a fourth inning homer by Andrew McCutchen and, when your mates aren't hitting, one mistake can -- and often does -- cost you the game.
